What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

Coloured bath resurfacing in Halam, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Halam, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Halam
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Halam
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Halam
Is it safe with children and pets around?

What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG22 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
